The Ebonyi State House of Assembly Committee on Public Petition, Justice and Judiciary has issued an instant warrant of arrest for the director of First Patriot Company, Mr Obia Alio, over alleged damage of property and insensitivity to the plight of the host community.

The committee chairman, Innocent Nomeh, made the disclosure when they paid an on-the-spot assessment to Enyim Agelegu Ndufu Alike following a series of petitions filed against the First Patriot Company, formally known as Royal Salt Company Limited.

Nomeh said that from the scenes on ground, the First Patriot Company has failed to provide the safety measures as contained in the Mining Act and has not fulfilled its obligations to the host community, but rather decided to turn a deaf ear to their plights. The House committee chairman maintained that he met a suffocating situation on the ground, where the mining activists by the company have rendered the majority of the villagers homeless and subjected them to perpetual fear.
